Newly named, Rand moved to Hollywood, California to work in the movie business. Throughout the 1930s, she published two books, but did not earn much critical or popular recognition.

CThe two things snow and mountains which are needed for a ski area are the two things that cause avalanches, large mass of snow and ice crushing down the side of a mountainoften called White Death. It was the threat of the avalanche and its record as a killer of man in the western mountains that created the snow ranger. He first started on avalanche control work in the winter of 1937 38 at Alta, Utah, in Wasatch National Forest. This mountain valley was becoming well known to skiers. It was dangerous. In fact, more than 120 persons had lost their lives in 1936 and another 200 died in 1937 as a result of avalanches before it became a major ski area. Thus, development of Alta and other major ski resorts in the west was dependent upon controlling the avalanche. The Forest Service set out to do it, and did, with its corps of snow rangers. It takes many things to make a snow ranger. The snow ranger must be in excellent physical condition. He must be a good skier and a skilled mountain climber He should have at least a high school education, and the more college courses in geology, physics, and related fields he has, the better. He studies snow, terrain, wind, and weather. He learns the conditions that produce avalanches. He learns to forecast avalanches and to bring them roaring on down the mountainsides to reduce their killing strength. . The snow ranger learns to do this by using artillery, by blasting with TNT, and by the difficult and skillful art of skiing avalanches down. The snow ranger, dressed in a green parka which has a bright yellow shoulder patch, means safety for people on ski slopes. He pulls the trigger on a 75 mm. Recoilless rifle, skis waist deep in powder testing snow stability, or talks with the ski areas operator as he goes about his work to protect the public from the hazards of deep snow on steep mountain slopes. 66. The snow rangers are employees of _ A. the Forest Service. B. the Resource Bureau. C. the Tourist Board. D. the Sports Bureau. 67.A snow ranger himself must be _ A. a college graduate. B. a physicist. C. a geologist. D. a mountaineer. 68. A snow ranger uses very powerful guns A. to warn skiers of an approaching avalanche. B. to signal for help in an emergency. C. to create an avalanche. D. to communicate with the ski area operator. 69. The primary duty of the snow ranger is _ A. To make sure ski area operators are following safety rules. B. To predict and control avalanches in mountainous areas. C. To check skis and repair them. D. To forecast the weather. 70.The passage implies that a snow ranger A. knows how to use a pistol. B. must write lengthy reports on his work. C. may travel many miles when he is on duty. D. has a long working day. DRene Descartes explanation of pain has long been acknowledged in medicine. He proposed that pain is a purely physical phenomenon that tissue injury makes specific nerves send a signal to the brain, causing the mind to notice pain. The phenomenon, he said, is like pulling on a rope to ring a bell in the brain. It is hard to overstate how deeply fixed this account has become. In medicine, doctors see pain in Descartes terms as a physical process, a sign of tissue injury.The limitations of this explanation, however, have been apparent for some time, since people with obvious injuries sometimes report feeling no pain at all. Later, researchers proposed that Descartes model be replaced with what they called the gate control theory of pain. They argued that before pain signals reach the brain, they must first go through a gating mechanism in the spinal cord (脊髓). In some cases, this imaginary gate could simply stop pain signals from getting to the brain.Their most amazing suggestion was that what controlled the gate were not just signals from sensory nerves but also emotions and other “output” from the brain. They were saying that pulling on the rope may not necessarily make the bell ring. The
